Is the numbness recover?

Hmm, I can't answer your question, because I don't know what's wrong.
I do know that when nerves are injured, they can heal, but it is slow.

If you do not regain normal sensation, you need to tell your parents and have them make an appointment to see the doctor.  
The physician will check the extent of the loss of sensation.  It's possible a nerve was bruised when you were injured.  Or maybe something happened during surgery.
Do you have any problems with bowel control or with urinating.
Do you have normal sensation on the scrotum and the rest of the groin area.
Have you noticed any blood in your urine.

Wishing you the best,
